Here's Why Kate Upton Has Never Owned a Scale

Kate Upton may have countless magazine covers, movie credits, and runway shows on her resumé, but that doesn't mean she's always feelin' herself. As it turns out, when it comes to loving her body, she has difficult days just like the rest of us.

“I’m still not confident in a bathing suit!” Upton told Yahoo Style in a recent interview. “It’s not like I always feel my best. Everybody has moments where they don’t feel confident in a bikini...When I don’t feel my best, that’s OK.”

Upton says when she first started modeling, she faced constant scrutiny in relation to her body. It was "insinuated, always" that she needed to lose weight, she says. But Upton says she's actually never owned a scale. “I’m not trying to be fit for a number on a scale," she says. "Whenever I’m happiest, I try to maintain that. I don’t need a number.”

Upton, who is engaged to Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, also has no intention of shedding weight for her wedding. She recently told People that she'll be steering clear of any bridal diets. “I never get on a scale because you can’t judge yourself for how much you weigh,” she told the mag. “What really matters is how good I feel.”
